The main argument for the extension of the contract was the proven quality and performance of CLARK forklifts. “Built to last®” quality is required at the leading manufacturer of ceramic tiles in so far as the application requires the durability of the machines used and flexible load handling. Most CLARK forklifts are utilised for outdoor use on rough terrain with high air pollution levels (dust). An average of 3.600 hours of hard work is done by every CLARK device in two Opoczno plants near Lodz per year. Enthusiasm is triggered by the durability of the continuously variable, automatic power- shift transmission TA-30th in 15.000 operating hours, or around four years of operation, no single problem has occurred. The neutral gas conversion and fixed tanks of the CLARK C25 were entrusted to company Agrotrak from Krakow. The reasoning behind the conversion: lower fuel costs, lower noise levels, slower combustion and therefore drive conservation. Furthermore, the CLARK fleet was equipped with a special combination of air and SE tyres, which support the suspension.
